The Hungarian Collection is a body of records created by the Szalasi Regime, which came into power after the arrest and deportation of Admiral Horthy by the Germans on October 15, 1944. As the Russian troops advanced on Budapest late in 1944, the Salasi cabinet withdrew to the vicinity of the Austrian border and eventually escaped to Germany. American forces apparently captured the records somewhere in south Germany in 1945. From: National Archives and Records Administration RG242/1053 (National Archives Microcopy No. T-973). The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the microfilms via the Museum's International Programs Division on February 25, 1999.
